The march resembles the 1969 Stonewall, where the patron gay bar Greenwich Village resisted the police harassment and lit a modern LGBTQ+rights movement. When the intimacy of the same sex was criminalized, the bars as Stonewall provided rare safe paradise.
The first anniversary of the march in 1970 launched this tradition of protest and visibility, which led to President Clinton that in 1999 he declared June Pride Month in 1999 and President Obama described Stonewall in 2016.
Today’s event embodies this inheritance, challenges continued discrimination and at the same time celebrates heavily defined freedoms as millions around the world.
